African Union Endorses New Sudan Peace Dialogue Initiative
The African Union officially endorsed a new dialogue initiative aimed at brokering a ceasefire and political settlement in the Sudanese Civil War. The move comes despite pushback from various civilian groups who remain skeptical of the military factions' commitment to peace. The initiative seeks to bring the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to the negotiating table to address the humanitarian catastrophe.
